Magic Powder to Prevent Shine
It has been half a year since I made it my daily routine before work to finish off with sunscreen, and every day I've been dealing with shine—lots of shine—until a savior appeared.
Something for men who don't wear makeup that can suppress sunscreen shine without looking unnatural.
Just when I was looking for it, this came up.
"Face powder" is amazing, isn't it?
I mean, it's magic powder.
It's a very easy-to-understand article, so if you're a man who's interested, you should give it a read.
Now I've come to think that if you use "sunscreen" daily, "face powder" is a must-have set, and since you have to remove the sunscreen, "cleansing" is also an essential part of the three-piece set.
Even from a woman's perspective, face powder has this kind of image:
Face powder has an image of being patted onto the face, creating a matte look where pores can't breathe. Don't you think it's a makeup step you can skip if you don't have it, or if you prefer a dewy look?
If you choose the right product, it's truly natural-looking, and it actually has the major benefit of suppressing excess sebum for a long time.
If there is anyone out there suffering for the same reason as me, "face powder" is incredibly effective. I wish I had started using it sooner, so I really want to recommend it to any men struggling with shine.
This is what I tested and bought at the cosmetics counter; it's useful because it suppresses shine subtly and naturally (though be careful not to apply too much).

I initially thought the reason for the shine was due to lotions or emulsions, but it turns out that sunscreen is the final blow, or rather, it plays a role in increasing the shine. I learned about something called 'face powder' that appeared in recommended countermeasures.
I learned that it is a cosmetic product that people who wear makeup naturally know about, and it turns out it was that thing people use to touch up their makeup by patting it on (I was ignorant about beauty).
I also learned that there are loose types (powder) and pressed types (solid).
I also learned about the existence of women who don't wear makeup and go about their day using only 'sunscreen + face powder,' and as an ignorant person, I realized it's acceptable; in fact, I even thought men should do it too.
Since there are various types of face powder, I wanted to try others as well.
Since it's important if you're a man starting to use it, I'll say it again
'Sunscreen + face powder + cleansing' is a three-piece set
isn't it
